Game. Tom plays that he is the manager of a circus. His classmates want to work in the circus. Each one makes up his mind what kind of work he will play that he can do. Then one after another raises his hand and asks Tom for a position.
For instance, Fred says: "Tom, have you a position for me in your circus?"
Tom answers: "What kind of work can you do well, Fred?"
Fred says: "I am a good ticket seller. I can sell tickets well."
Then Nellie asks: "Tom, have you a position for me in your circus?"
Tom answers: "What kind of work can you do well, Nellie?"
Nellie replies: "I am a good cook. I can cook well."
Other pupils are good musicians, they can play well; or good tightrope walkers, they can walk the tightrope well; or good singers, they can sing well; or good drivers of horses, they can drive horses well; or good shoemakers, they can repair shoes well. After each pupil has told what he can do well, all those who made no mistake in speaking to the manager of the circus may march around the room, saying or singing, "We are good circus workers. We do our work well."
